Referring to the comic strip, "B.C.", what does B.C. stand for?

I thought "being christian" or maybe

"before Crucifixion" but Its a comic strip so maybe it means something else and just wanted to know for sure.

I'm funny that way ;-)

    NO - when referring to the calendar years, B.C. means Before Christ......

    But when it comes to B.C. comics, I believe that it stands for "Before Comics".......(as in, before comics there was B.C.....)

    It stands for "before Christ", but the comic is just using it to show that it is pre-history.

    But now days there is no longer "B.C." and "A.D."

    It is "BCE" or Before Common Era, and "CE" or Common Era.
